If the Amherst Town Board acts now…
We received a slinger in the mail concerning the Benderson project. Trying to offer a full and complete report on the impending Gun Club Property project we offer this for your consideration.
.:. The Amherst Town Centre is a $44 million private sector investment.
.:. The environmentally contaminated 34-acre site formerly known as the Buffalo Shooting Club on Maple Road will be remediated and become the first mixed-use lifestyle center in Western New York.
.:. The Amherst Town Centre will generate in excess of $1.6 million a year in property taxes, including an annual payment of $1 million going directly to the Sweet Home School District.
.:. The Amherst Town Centre will be a livable, pedestrian-friendly community combining a unique mix of residential, commercial, retail and hospitality amenities.
.:. The Amherst Town Centre will include a 4.5-acre public park along Maple Road that will feature extensive green space and landscaping, a tree orchard and a walking-bicycling trail.
As a concerned taxpayer, If YOU act now, the Amherst Town Centre will become reality…
.:. Contact Supervisor Mohan and your Town Board members and urge them to support the Amherst Town Centre on Maple Road and keep Amherst a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Just one question…Why does Benderson need more store and office space if it cannot find tenants for its empty storefronts and strip malls now? All the rhetoric on both sides aside, what guarantee does the Town of Amherst and its taxpayers have that a few years after completion, the project won’t be just another bunch of empty buildings?

Just toss the slinger with all the other JUNK mail you get. Lets just keep building in Amherst we do have so many empty stores and buildings. What about all that lead? Amherst needs more green space then it does more buildings.
